I moved them over from the stock springs. I have had the shock apart 3 times and had a shop tear both the fronts down and redo them. I'm at the point where I give. I just have to decide if I'm going back to stock or try another brand of springs.
If you're looking for a drop in ride height, I would consider trying other springs with a similar ratio of spring frequency:length(change in) compared to stock, that way your suspension geometry can stay similar and you'll get less of the noise that higher rate springs often produce.

If you're looking for performance, I wouldn't recommend a huge drop at all because your suspension geometry will be off (within .7" of stock is always good) and then get some nice dampers like the Koni.

Yes I do think you're right with the simpler solution. I think Swift might actually have their own rubber isolators they sell for those
